The quality control manual is a guideline for the management of internal and external factors affecting hygiene and quality throughout the entire process, from mushroom growth to shipment before export. K-mush provides standard points for all export farms to produce high quality products with these guidelines. This means that only high quality products are produced under the K-MUSH’s brand, and it has steadily gained the confidence of customers around the world.

The quality control committee is composed of mushrooms cultivation management specialists, storage and distribution management specialists, the representatives of exporters and so on and regularly discusses related issues. "
"In addition to regular meetings, the quality control committee will solve the quality-related issues through frequent discussions whenever important issues arise.
We will listen to the voices of consumers as well as farms and strive to become the world’s leading export mushroom brand with high consumer confidence."
We utilize the quality data of individual farms as the basic data for integrated management and quality improvement through ERP system that integrates various databases related to quality control into one system using the latest IT technology.

Environment-Friendly Certificate is a certificate system at the stage of cultivation including the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, and GAP is a certificate system for the prevention of harmful substances in the distribution process from the farm to the table of customers around the world.
K-mush’s Commitment

We are striving to produce safe mushrooms that our customers can trust by managing certificates recognized domestically and internationally, and we will do our best to help export farms concentrate on producing better quality mushrooms by maintaining their certificates. "
Positive List System, a national system that prohibits the use of pesticides with no domestic registration or maximum residue limit (MRL) criteria, is designed to prevent the production of mushrooms that have not been proven to be safe in advance and manage to export safe mushrooms.
K-mush’s Commitment

K-mush ensures the safety of exported mushrooms by obliging residual pesticide inspection and pesticide application record and guiding to get support for the part of inspection fees."
